Maidana v Provodnikov - who wins and how?

[Weebler I]

50-50 fight but I'd venture Provodnikov via body attack. Could just as easily be Maidana with a concussive headshot. One thing's for certain though, it doesn't go the distance.

Actually, I don't neccessarily agree with it certainly not going the distance, we have seen fights before where we have thought "no way it goes the distance", someone is 100% getting knocked out etc" - hell, Matthysse v Garcia was a recent one...we never know what could happen, maybe swelling or cuts, injuries, anything else but I think it can't be ruled out that it MIGHT go 12 rounds, what IS certain though is that if it did, the 2 of them would be pretty much ruined!

I think Maidana has the harder punch but Ruslan might havea stronger chin. It would be a war. I favor Maidana by mid round stoppage.

[GhostBlade]

Provodnikov is more ruthless and I give him the edge in punching power compared to Maidana. Provodnikov should win but you never know. Any fighter can be beat any given day but if Provodnikov has the edge in my book.

This would be a Great War but I'd give the edge to Maidana

[El Angel]

Very hard to predict. Not sure who to pick honestly.

[Da Machine]

Maidana can counter. Provo can't. Maidana has shown other facets to his game. Provo has not.

I don't see how anyone could possibly pick Provo to win.

[RiC-DiC]

Maidana can counter.

the way he countered and dropped Khan (the most predictable fighter in boxing)? lol wait..

[Sheppirino]

The fans win this one. As for the fight itself I think it's a toss up. Would like to see it happen one day.

maidana is always getting stopped by a body shot here.
